IPC: G10H3/12
Filed: 1996-06-13
Abstract: A pitch 
detecting device utilizes a pickup (3) for picking up the acoustic 
vibration to convert the same into a waveform signal. 
Further, a first detector (13) operates according to a fast 
algorithm for processing the waveform signal so as to 
responsively produce a first output representative of the pitch 
of the acoustic vibration, and a second detector (12) operates in 
parallel to the first detector (13) for processing the same waveform 
signal according to a slow algorithm so as to stably produce a 
second output representative of the pitch of the acoustic 
vibration. A selector (17) feeds one of the first 
and second outputs to the tone generator (18) so that the first 
and second detectors (13,12) can cooperate 
complementarily with each other to ensure responsive and 
stable detection of the pitch of the acoustic vibration. An 
additional detector (11) processes the waveform signal to measure 
a time interval between a pair of the peaks so as to detect a 
plucking point. A controller (21) controls the tone generator 
according to the detected plucking point to change the timbre 
of the tone generator in response to the plucking point.

Filed: 1996-07-26
Abstract: An acoustic correction apparatus 20 processes a pair of left and right input signals to compensate for 
spatial distortion as a function of frequency when said input signals are reproduced through speakers in a sound 
system. The sound-energy of the left and right input signals 26 and 28 is separated and corrected in a first low-frequency 
range and a second high-frequency range. The resultant signals are recombined to create image-corrected 
audio signals 27 and 29 having a desired sound-pressure response when reproduced by the speakers in the sound 
system. The desired sound-pressure response creates an apparent sound image location with respect to a listener. 
The image-corrected signals 27 and 29 may then be spatially-enhanced to broaden the apparent sound image.

Abstract: Downsampling and inverse motion compensation are
performed on compressed domain representations for video.
By directly manipulating the compressed domain
representation instead of the spatial domain
representation, computational complexity is significantly
reduced. For downsampling, the compressed stream is
processed in the compressed (DCT) domain without explicit
decompression and spatial domain downsampling so that the
resulting compressed stream corresponds to a scaled down
image, ensuring that the resulting compressed stream
conforms to the standard syntax of 8 x 8 DCT matrices. For
typical data sets, this approach of downsampling in the
compressed domain results in computation savings around 80
% compared with traditional spatial domain methods for
downsampling from compressed data. For inverse motion
compensation, motion compensated compressed video is
converted into a sequence of DCT domain blocks
corresponding to the spatial domain blocks in the current
picture alone. By performing inverse motion compensation
directly in the compressed domain, the reduction in
computation complexity is around 68 % compared with
traditional spatial domain methods for inverse motion
compensation from compressed data. The techniques for
downsampling and inverse motion compensation can be used in
a variety of applications, such as multipoint video
conferencing and video editing.

Abstract: The steering wheel (1) can be tilted about an axis (R-R)
perpendicular to the axis (A-A) of the steering column (3), and
moved downwards and, at the same time, it may be moved
axially back by virtue of a telescopic joint (6/17) on the
steering column (3) itself; by holding the steering wheel (1) in
a precise tilted position in which the widest arc (21) of the
rim (9) is disposed upwardly, the steering wheel (1) is freed
from the normal driving position and may be tilted
forward, encircling the binnacle (12) with the widest part (21) of
the rim (9) and, therefore, can be slid axially to a fully
tilted position in which the steering wheel (1) is
substantially leaning against the dashboard (14); in this way
the obstruction of the steering wheel (1) is removed when not
in use, thereby rendering useable the space above and
